foreword 


This  Handbook  has  been  prepared  with 
the  hope  that  the  bibliography  and  infor¬ 
mation  contained  may  aid  pastors  and 
others  in  a  systematic,  thorough  and  pro¬ 
gressive  education  in  missions,  of  young 
and  old  in  Congregational  churches.  Such 
education  must  be  promoted  not  alone  by 
an  annual  or  semi-annual  missionary  ser¬ 
mon,  but  by  inaugurating  a  campaign  of 
missionary  instruction  in  each  part  of  the 
organized  life  of  the  church,  including  all 
the  departments  of  the  Sabbath  school,  the 
Young  People’s  Society,  the  clubs  or 
leagues  of  men  and  women,  the  mid-week 
prayer  meeting  and  the  pulpit.  The  se¬ 
cret  of  ultimate  success  is  the  training  of 
a  few  able  leaders  to  officer  and  direct  this 
campaign.  Therefore  the  effort  must  be  a 
continuous  campaign,  and  not  a  series  of 
assaults.  By  using  the  methods  suggested 
in  this  Handbook,  scores  of  churches  have 
become  propagating  centers  of  missionary 
work  whose  influence  has  been  felt  through¬ 
out  our  own  land  and  in  foreign  fields. 

Superintendents  and  teachers  of  Sunday 
schools  and  officers  of  Young  People’s 
Societies,  who  of  necessity  must  be  the 
staff  officers  of  the  pastors  in  this  cam¬ 
paign,  will  find  aid  also  in  the  suggestions 
offered.  Special  attention  is  called  to  the 
suggestions  giving  the  names  of  books  for 
Sunday-school  libraries  and  for  mission 
study  classes. 

The  bibliography  is  intended  to  guide 
pastors  in  their  choice  of  books  for  private 
research.  Other  missionary  leaders  in  the 
church  will  find  the  lists  valuable  as  an  aid 
in  selecting  books  for  the  Sunday-school 
library  and  the  missionary  library  of  the 

4 


Young  People’s  Society.  With  a  well 
selected  collection  of  missionary  literature, 
the  missionary  meetings  and  the  mission 
study  classes  may  be  made  not  only 
informing  but  inspiring.  The  missionary 
committees  of  the  church  will  be  able  also 
to  introduce  much  private  reading  of  mis¬ 
sionary  literature  among  young  and  old  in 
the  church. 

The  time  has  come  when  if  the  Christian 
Church  is  to  overtake  its  opportunity  and 
serve  each  generation  of  non-Christians 
according  to  the  will  of  God,  there  must 
be  a  revival  of  mission  study,  and  intelli¬ 
gent  missionary  prayer,  which  will  be  fol¬ 
lowed  inevitably  by  a  spiritual  awakening 
and  consecration  of  wealth.  In  order  to 
usher  in  this  missionary  awakening  most 
speedily,  a  statesmanlike  policy  of  mission¬ 
ary  education  among  the  young  must  be 
inaugurated.  The  American  Board  wishes 
to  serve  the  churches  by  providing  plans, 
literature  and  means  of  training  to  leaders 
in  young  people’s  work,  and  therefore  its 
young  people’s  Secretary  invites  corre¬ 
spondence  from  young  people  at  any  time 
on  any  subject  connected  with  missions, 
or  the  cultivation  of  the  personal  spiritual 
life  through  Bible  study. 


H  Feu)  Suss^sttons  to 
il)c  pastor 


The  following  suggestions  are  made  to 
pastors  who  earnestly  desire  to  organize 
their  churches  for  missionary  work.  It 
has  been  the  aim  in  presenting  these  sug¬ 
gestions  to  provide  a  plan  which  shall  be 
simple  and  practical. 

1.  To  represent  faithfully  to  the  people 
by  private  conversation  and  public  address 
the  needs  of  the  various  mission  fields  and 
societies. 

2.  To  secure,  if  possible,  a  gift  from 
every  member  of  the  church  to  each  of  the 
six  societies. 

3.  To  preach  sermons  and  make  refer- 
erence  to  missionary  books  and  heroes  in 
such  a  way  as  to  encourage  reading  of 
missionary  literature. 

4.  To  secure  wider  circulation  of  the 
missionary  magazines. 

5.  To  extend  missionary  interests  by 
arranging  exchanges  with  neighboring 
pastors  for  this  purpose. 

6.  To  co-operate  with  the  officers  of 
the  societies  in  conducting,  in  the  interests 
of  missions,  deputations  composed  of  stu¬ 
dents  and  other  missionary  leaders  among 
the  churches  outside  of  the  large  cities. 

7.  To  aid  in  the  organization  of  train¬ 
ing  institutes  for  young  people’s  leaders  in 
connection  with  meetings  of  State  Asso¬ 
ciations  and  District  Conferences. 

8.  To  promote  public  and  private  prayer 
for  missionaries  and  their  work. 

9.  In  every  way  possible  to  strive  to 
raise  up  a  generation  of  missionaries  and 
missionary  leaders  by  the  instruction  given 
in  the  church.

Che  Church  Missionary 
Committee 

In  order  to  provide  continuous  and  pro¬ 
gressive  missionary  instruction  for  the 
church  as  a  whole,  as  well  as  vigorous 
leadership  for  systematic  giving,  pastors 
will  receive  splendid  service  and  help 
from  a  church  missionary  committee, 
composed  chiefly  of  business  or  profes¬ 
sional  men.  The  duties  of  such  a  com¬ 
mittee  may  well  be  : — 

1.  To  arrange  and  conduct  a  regular 
missionary  church  prayer  meeting. 

2.  To  circulate  for  private  reading  the 
best  missionary  books  and  magazines. 

3.  To  keep  the  church  informed  on  the 
current  events  of  interest  in  denomina¬ 
tional  missionary  work  and  missions  at 
large. 

4.  To  conduct  a  personal  canvass  to 
secure  personal  pledges  from  each  church 
member  before  each  offering  to  the  Amer¬ 
ican  Board  and  the  other  Congregational 
societies. 

An  increasing  number  of  churches  are 
adopting  the  plan  which  involves  the 
organization  of  a  central  missionary  com¬ 
mittee  of  the  church,  composed  of  at  least 
the  chairman  of  each  separate  missionary 
committee,  with  the  pastor  as  central 
chairman.  The  duties  of  the  committee 
should  be  to  'outline,  year  by  year,  the 
general  missionary  campaign,  and  to  cor¬ 
relate  properly  the  work  of  each  separate 
organization,  thereby  securing  progres¬ 
sion,  large  objectives  and  unity  of  effort, 
purpose,  prayer  and  faith. 


i 


Cbe  youns  People’s  Societp 

The  pastor  will  be  able  to  strengthen 
the  missionary  work  among  the  young 
people  by  giving  frequent  counsel  regard¬ 
ing  the  following  duties  of  the  missionary 
committee  in  the  Young  People’s  Society  : 

1 .  To  conduct  monthly  missionary  meet¬ 
ings. 

2.  To  organize  and  conduct  mission 
study  classes. 

3.  To  secure  a  missionary  library  and 
to  circulate  the  books. 

4.  To  assist  the  missionary  committee 
of  the  church  in  collecting  missionary 
offerings ;  or,  in  case  the  young  people 
have  a  different  object  than  that  chosen 
by  the  church,  to  secure  a  gift  to  missions 
from  every  young  person  in  the  church. 

5.  To  promote  private  and  public  prayer 
for  missionaries,  the  native  leaders,  and 
their  work. 


CDe  Sundap  School 

The  largest  single  opportunity  of  the 
pastor  for  raising  up  a  generation  of  mis¬ 
sionaries  and  missionary  leaders,  is  found 
in  the  missionary  instruction  of  the  Sun¬ 
day  school.  In  this  connection  it  may  be 
his  purpose — 

1.  To  aid,  where  advisable,  in  organiz¬ 
ing  the  Sunday  school  into  a  Sunday- 
school  missionary  society,  whose  officers 
shall  be  elected  annually  by  the  school, 
and  under  whose  auspices  all  the  mission¬ 
ary  instruction  and  giving  shall  be  con¬ 
ducted. 

2.  To  counsel  the  superintendent  and 
the  president  of  the  Sunday-school  mis¬ 
sionary  society  regarding  the  policy  of 
the  society. 

3.  To  conduct  for  a  few  weeks  each 
year  a  mission  study  normal  training  class 
for  teachers  in  the  Sunday  school. 

4.  To  aid  the  superintendent  and  the 
officers  of  the  missionary  society  in  select¬ 
ing  missionary  books,  maps,  charts,  and 
photographs  for  use  in  individual  classes, 
and  in  preparing  missionary  exercises  to 
be  given  before  the  entire  Sunday  school. 

s 


5.  To  promote  the  formation  of  habits 
of  giving  in  the  life  of  the  individual 
scholar  and  class,  and  to  this  end  to  aid 
in  the  choice  of  a  specific  object  for  sup¬ 
port  when  desirable.  (See  separate  para¬ 
graph  on  specific  support.) 

Missionary  equipment  or 
the  Cburcb 

In  order  to  do  its  best  work  a  church 
needs  the  following  equipment  : — 

1.  A  well-selected  library  of  standard 
missionary  books,  to  which  shall  be  added 
each  year  the  most  important  current 
works,  including  bound  volumes  of  each 
of  the  denominational  missionary  maga¬ 
zines,  and  the  Missionary  Review  of  the 
World. 

2.  A  carefully  selected  collection  of 
missionary  books  for  children  in  the  Sun¬ 
day-school  library.

cers  of  the  Sunday  school,  as  well  as 
other  missionary  leaders  in  the  church,

Missions,  by  H.  P.  Beach.  (See  History 
and  Geography,  under  Foreign  Missions.) 

5.  Wall  maps  of  the  several  mission 
fields. 

6.  Hand-made  or  manufactured  charts. 

7.  Missionary  photographs  or  carefully 
prepared  scrapbooks  of  half-tone  mission¬ 
ary  pictures. 

8.  Curios  from  the  mission  field  brought 
home  by  missionaries  or  friends  of  mis¬ 
sions  who  travel. 

9.  Framed  pictures,  for  the  wall,  of  the 
world’s  greatest  missionaries.

Bibliosrapbp 

It  has  been  the  aim  to  present  in  this 
bibliography  a  limited  number  of  books, 
selected  from  the  many  on  each  subject,

on  most  questions  which  may  be  chosen 
for  investigation  by  a  pastor  or  a  mission¬ 
ary  committee.  Where  more  than  seven 
books  are  given  under  one  heading,  the 
seven  at  the  head  of  the  list  are  in  general 
considered  most  important.

literature  mentioned  under  all  other  head¬ 
ings  may  be  addressed  to  the  Young  Peo¬ 
ple’s  Department  of  the- American  Board,

CIk  Urgent  Deeds  of  tbe  flmeri= 
can  Board  tor  1903=1904 

1.  A  revival  of  intercessory  prayer  in 
the  churches  of  the  United  States  for  the 
549  American  missionaries,  the  3,581 
native  workers,  and  the  524  native 
churches,  that  the  teaching,  preaching, 
touring,  hospital  work,  translating,  print¬ 
ing  and  relief  work  may  glorify  God  by 
claiming  multitudes  of  the  people  for 
Christ  each  year. 

2.  An  increase  of  20  per  cent  of  the 
foreign  working  forces  at  present  impossi¬ 
ble  to  provide,  for  financial  reasons. 

3.  A  vastly  enlarged  native  working 
agency  to  occupy  fields  which  are  waiting, 
and  which  have  waited  long,  for  preachers 
and  teachers. 

4.  An  endowment  of  $1,500,000  for 
the  1 6  educational  institutions  of  higher 
learning  belonging  to  the  Board.  These 
colleges  train  annually  over  3,500  stu¬ 
dents,  and  exert  their  influence  in  the 
midst  of  a  population  numbering  not  less 
than  150,000,000,  to  reach  which  these 
colleges  were  equipped,  and  are  now  con¬ 
ducted  as  a  vital  part  of  the  mission  work. 

5.  An  immediate  advance  in  the  annual 
offerings  of  the  churches  from  $750,000 
to  $1,000,000,  in  order  to  overtake  the 
opportunities  and  enter  the  doors  open 
now  to  the  native  churches  of  the  nineteen 
missions.
